Back To IR8 Main.

John L. Hughes II was born in May, 1977. Married to Christina Dawn with three daughters, Sierra MeKenna born on 6/6/01 and Alyssa Skye 3/25/03,and Bridgette Rhianna 4/12/04. Began playing music when I was 13 years old (back when he loved Poison and Cinderella). In the year following he discovered new music (REAL HEAVY METAL), and since then that's all he listened to til after High School.

Influenced by groups like Anthrax and Metallica, I learned how to play guitar on my own, shortly followed by learning bass, drums, programing and some keyboards. FISH FUCK was born. Poetry was also born. The Poetry book called "Tales Of A Youth... The Twisted Emotions" was written from '92-'97 but never surfaced. It was a dark and twisted look in to the mind of his depression. In Nov. 1997 I began writing and recording the demo "End Of The Day '97" the demo was recorded in less than a month! It started out with the current 14 songs there is now. Shortly after that he started on the demo "Domination '98" which started in Dec. 97 and was finished in Jan. 98. "Remakes And Remixes" was started as a side demo durring the END sessions and was completed shortly after the DOM sessions. "The Dream, Volume One" was started in March of '98 and was completed in May. "The Dream, Volume Two" was started in June '98 and completed in Sept. 98. By the time Vol. 2 was coming to an end I had met my now wife Christina and we were in the process of moving and that's why it took a little longer to complete.

After a year break or so I was given the operatunity to work with another band named "HIPTRICKLE". Thing in that band was a bit diferent than what he was used to but he had fun with it. Hiptrickle consisted of Chris Pankuch on Guitar, Russ Fakadej on Guitar, Mark Latimier on Drums and I on Bass. John Joined in June 2000, the band had around 7 songs ready to record. In August 2000 the band disbanded. I got married the next day. The remaining members, Chris, Russ, and myself regrouped about a month and a half latter. Renamed "The Fiesta Zann" we started recording again. I outlived my welcome in the band after showing a lack of suport for the music.

Fish Fuck came back with "The Last Generation" and carries on where I left off. "Remakes and Remixes 2" was also done. FISH FUCK officially calls it quits as of March 2003.

IR8 WORLD is the new era where FFUSA had left off. IR8 WORLD is a change, actually nice sounding recordings. IR8 WORLD first disc was released in early 2004. Violence contained 6 heavy tune and the rest were techno songs. The next disc entitled Candyland will be out in early 2005. R&R (Remakes And Remixes{3}) Will also be out in 2005,. It is an album of ramekes and remixes naturally. e-mail me at ir8world.
